flying

... these hatchlings will spend days and weeks in the nest being fed by the mother bird. they take in as much nutrition as they can to make their bodies stronger, grow feathers, watch and learn things from their parents, and to learn how to fly. perhaps they will stumble and fall on the first few tries. perhaps, too, they will fly a few moments then fall again. but definitely, they are birds and eventually, they will fly.

i think the bird is ready to fly.
